I could have really used Chronicle in high school english (1987) - I was constantly getting essays handed back with the accusation that I was making up words (said evidence being the lack of the words in my English instructor's somewhat dated dictionary).

"Horrific" was one that always got me in trouble - though, apparently, it is a somewhat new word.
